Twice-baked potatoes with a mouthwatering mix of organic spices and herbs, and a snappy litte kick from cayenne.

Ingredients

  • Russet potatoes washed

  • sea salt or pink Himalayan salt

  • unsalted butter, sliced into chunks

  • chopped cooked bacon fat strained off

  • sour cream

  • shredded sharp cheddar cheese plus more for topping

  • Simply Organic® Nutmeg

  • Simply Organic® Cardamom

  • Simply Organic® Thyme

  • Simply Organic® Sage

  • Simply Organic® Cayenne

  • green onions thinly sliced, plus more for garnish

  • Simply Organic® Black Pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Poke each wet potato 4 to 5 times with a fork, then toss with salt. Place directly on oven rack and bake for 1 hour, until cooked through (when pierced with a sharp knife, potato feels soft all the way through). Remove potatoes from oven and lower heat to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, bacon bits and sour cream.
  • Using a clean towel to protect your hands from the heat, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Gently scrape insides of each potato into mixing bowl with butter mixture, leaving a thin layer of potato in the skin and taking care not to tear the shell. Place hollowed-out potato shells on a baking sheet.
  • Using a mixer or immersion blender, whip potato and butter mixture together. Add cheese, spices and the 5 green onions. Mix until well combined.
  • Fill each potato shell, rounded, to about 1 inch above the rim, top with cheese and bake for 20 minutes, until cooked through and tops are browned. Garnish with additional green onion, and serve hot.
